New Age Beverages Expands Organic Marley Mate With
Post# of 617763
DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Aug 30, 2017) - New Age Beverages Corporation (
Terry Sperstad, Senior Vice President of Key Accounts for New Age commented, "We knew we had a winner with the Marley Mate™ brand and taste preference over competition, but the response from retailers and our distribution partners has been unlike anything we have seen before. We have had to triple our initial production plans already, have additional commitments from other retailers already rolling out in 2018, and know we are just getting started."
Marley Mate™ which earlier in the month gained commitment for launch from 7 Eleven, has been ramping up production and began initial shipments this week. Haralambos Beverage Company is the largest beverage distributor in Southern California, and has historically distributed a competitive Yerba Mate product until their decision to switch to the New Age Organic Marley yerba Mate™. Sales of the competitor across Southern California alone eclipsed more than $3 million per month. New Age's other partners including Hensley, one of the largest distributors in the United States, Folsom, Palmentere and others have also made similar decisions to extend their one-stop-shop relationship with New Age and take on the new Marley Mate™ brand.
Zach Ross, Marketing Manager for the Marley Brand mentioned, "The launch of the Marley Mate™ brand is the first of a number of initiatives behind the Marley platform since we acquired the business in the end of June. We know what we gained with the Marley acquisition, the positive core brand on which to build, but also the historical execution issues before New Age took the business over. Since then, we have completely rearchitected the brand leveraging all the Marley iconography that Marley fans resonate with. The new Live. Love. Marley. campaign, coupled with the new brand launches of Marley Mate™ and others in the pipeline, are excellent examples of New Age's marketing capabilities to capture the potential of its newly acquired companies and brand platforms. Initial consumer feedback on the Organic Marley Yerba Mate has been unprecedented, and the next Marley brand launching in Q4 has already been approved for distribution in major accounts as well."
